Probably not, but I doubt states like Indiana, Virginia, and North Carolina were going to go his way this time regardless of his stance on gay marriage. Florida seems like it'd be the most tolerant of the purple states that he needs to win, so maybe he'll be able to squeak by with a win.

Hrm. This article makes some interesting points:

Still better than Romney's 2008-2010: - I am/ was against any kind of bail out for the auto industry; 2012: I always advocated a managed transition for the auto industry and take credit for the fact it's recovering now.

:unsure:

Last sound bite I heard from Mitt on the auto bailout was it should have run through normal bankruptcy without a government handout for Obama's union buddies.

Obama did the right thing here.  He should have done it earlier, but kudos to him for finally being honest about how he feels about this issue.  If he integrates this into his re-election platform, I may feel compelled to vote for him. :)

It's only a matter of time, much to the chagrin of the right wing religious fundy's. The Gay's will win the fight.

MSNBC was reporting that, in the first hour after the news was announced, O's campaign received over $1million in contributions.

And don't discount the religious fundies.  The ones that were going to stay home in Mittapathy are now going to arrive in droves at the voting booth to stop the Federal War Of Northern Aggression On Marriage.

Yeah - I personally felt that civil unions were the way to go, but whatever.  War's over, man.  Wormer dropped the big one.

Of course. Men without children have money.

And the sound bite being given by Mitt is not only anti-gay marriage, but also anti-civil union, which is absolutely fucking mind-boggling.  This is 2012, not 1812.
Experience bij!

I found your antiquated/defunct views more relevant than the recognition that the culture war is over.
